A strong sense of social responsibility and the
belief that cost should not limit the availability of good quality care
to the poorer sections of society has always been integral to the philosophy
of the founders of this institution. Therefore from its inception, this
institution has provided free care to patients from corporation hospitals,
government hospitals and charitable institutions in the city such as the
Women and Children's Hospital, Institute of Child Health, Kasturba Gandhi
Hospital, Kilpauk Medical College Hospital, Stanley Hospital, RSRM Hospital,
Govt. General Hospital, Govt. Royapettah Hospital, ESI Hospitals, Sri
Ramachandra Medical College Hospital and Military Hospital, Chennai. Over
60,000 free scans have been done over the years in the government institutions.
